Bharrat Jagdeo

Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday said that he would again hold public consultations to select a new list of nominees for the chairmanship of the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) if a proposed meeting between his representative and the Attorney-General on the issue is positive.

Jagdeo, who yesterday formally notified President David Granger of his acceptance of the proposal to have his representative meet with Attorney-General Basil Williams on the nominations, made the disclosure after a public forum on the issue hosted by the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) at the Umana Yana.
